What's new?

Mark Twain famously quipped [at least apocryphally] "the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" and so it is with the library profession. From the invention of Reader's Guide in 1901 to Microsoft Encarta to the Kindle, those in the "know" have been digging a grave for the librarian for years. But new generations of librarians keep popping up. They don't wear their hair in buns, and some have more piercings than a tackle box, but they're still librarians.  Maybe it's time you thought about joining our 4,000 year old profession?

Stop by and learn more about an Educational Media & Technol- ogy degree from The College of St. Schoasltica - Tuesday, March 23rd from 3:00 - 3:45 in the Library Classroom.
